You do know you're coming across as that common cliche: the frustrated spinster?
C'mon Nick if you don't , then OwlHoot is keen.

CUK's cat lady. Admin, make it so.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to sasguru again.

I think you're setting your expectations too high.

Here's hoping your's are lower

Nope - I read the report, then re-read the OP, and decided it deserved to be in General. In the highly unlikely event this isn't a troll, they deserve to be kicked about for such appalling grammar & spelling alone.

Totally this. It is supposed to be a professional forum in which people put time in to help others for nothing. If some moron can't be bothered to do even the most basic research or even phrase a question properly he doesn't deserve the help. If he thinks a little bit next time and does some research before posting I think we have taught him infinitely more than he would have learned from his thread.

Has the trust situation with sockies really got so bad now that when a brand new FM asks their first question in the Professional Forums, they get thrown to the 'wits' of General as a first resort? ...

Think honey badgers and killer bees.

Right. So posting deliberately misleading answers which then get indexed by the search engine helps this. Hmmm.

Hi, I am working at a reputed company (with 5000 employees) since 4 years. Due to some professional reasons, I have decided to take one year career break. During this time I want to go and work in a different company on a contract basis for 8 months. I have couple of questions. Can you please advice me?

1) Can I work as a contractor?
2) What is about HMRC? As I am not getting the P45, who am I going to my pay tax?
3) What happens to my NI contribution?

Many thanks,

I am seriously looking for a solution and unfortunately the discussion ended up some where. I want to share some more details here. I got my British passport last year. I am a permanent employee on PAYE. I am having some problems with my manager, but I don't want to resign from the company. I am searching for jobs and did not get a suitable one sofar. So I want to take a career break for a year where I can return to work at any time with a short notice. I want to take a break for couple of months and search for work again as a contractor or a permanent position. If I get a good one I want to resign from the company. Many things can happen in one year. Please advice me pros and cons with my decision and guide me with a meaningful solution.
